Beyond the Overworld, the Nether, and the End, Intermediate Version Modpack includes strange alternate realms accessed through hidden portals scattered across the world.
Preparing for Dimensional Travel
1. Stock up at your home base before stepping into any unfamiliar portal. Bring durable armor, balanced gear collected from dungeons, extra food, blocks, and basic crafting supplies (wood and stone or iron).
2. Place a bed or chest near the portal on the Overworld side and record the portal's coordinates. Storing spare tools outside ensures you can recover if you get stuck or perish inside the alternate realm.
3. Empty unnecessary loot from your inventory so you have room to bring back dimension-specific blocks and treasures.
Exploring Alternate Realms Safely
1. Search secret landmarks, surface ruins, and deep underground chambers to uncover hidden portals.
2. Step through the portal and immediately secure your arrival point by building a small cobblestone shelter or placing torches around the exit frame so you can spot it from a distance.
3. Test the environment cautiously. Each new dimension follows its own simple rules and atmosphere—observe how lighting, terrain, blocks, and local creatures behave before wandering far from the entrance.
4. Gather local resources in short trips around your arrival marker until you understand the realm's hazards and layout.
